with better explanation around them, but i want to highlight a few things that are important to our city. working in the elder abuse center we see -- i really want to take the opportunity to thank inspector and the captain for their amazing work and say we need more bodies to help them. there's my little plug, but it's really true. it's a urgent situation and many elders pass away before they see justices. they're complicated cases and require a high level of expertise to see what happened, to build a case and presented to the da so they can win and they're complicated cases and we bump up against many obstacles as we seek justice and we are a partner for better results for the citizens here in san francisco. i want to take a brief moment and mention the law enforcement elder abuse act if you don't mind. this act was developed for all of california law enforcement and it is a step up from the pocket cards that we usually hand out at training and penal code 368. it has a lot of information about resources in california. it's at the fingertips of any officer that would like to download it.

they provide a huge service to the city. the city is one of their biggest clients. i think there is a lot to be said for the idea that language in and of itself is not a panacea; it is not monolithic. there is a difference between saying a restraining order and saying something else, and how you even talk to the victim of trauma is vital. we would like to see more involvement, rather than assuming that they are the experts which is i think how the police have looked at it in the past. language line is the expert on language, and they should teach us. we have a lot to teach interpreters as well about how to effectively communicate with them. one more thing quickly, for emergency protection orders, i am not sure how many people realize this but the judicial council has translated the emergency protection order into five languages. yet getting a copy of that along with the actual english version to the survivor is something that could easily be done by does not happen. i regularly meet with clients who for the first time understand what that emergency protection order
